Whether
or not the allegations against Sen. Larry Craig are true, the fact remains
that any man who solicits anonymous sex in a public restroom, or a public
park, or a "gay" bathhouse is a pervert. If Larry Craig did
what he's being accused of, he's a perv.

Remember
former New Jersey Governor, Jim McGreevy? While McGreevey was governor
he had an affair with a male employee, which prompted his admission on
national television that he was a "gay American." But long before
his adulterous affair with a man came to light, McGreevey was cruising
for sex at truck stops. Jim McGreevey is a perv.

Openly
"gay" singer George Michael was arrested for "lewd conduct"
in a public toilet in a Beverly Hills park. George Michael is a perv.

According
to an ABC News report, "Public places like men's restrooms, in airports
and train stations, truck stops, university libraries and parks, have
long been places where gay and bisexual men, particularly those in the
closet, congregate in order to meet for anonymous sex." The report
goes on to describe how these guys make contact, "Tapping of the
foot is pretty standard for men who cruise in toilets," said Keith Griffith,
owner of Cruisingforsex.com [enter at your own risk], a Web site on which
visitors post locations popular with men looking for anonymous sex."[1]

Warning:
These perverts just might decide to cruise a public restroom at your local
Good Guys or your corner Taco Bell. As we just learned, even university
libraries are not safe from sexual deviates. Better keep a close eye on
the kids, moms and dads!

going to the john in an airport, only to discover a couple of homosexuals
having sex in the stall next to you! The excuses offered for this detestable
behavior are laughable. Gershen Kaufman, a professor emeritus of psychology
at Michigan State University offers this doozy: "Cruisers are not
sex offenders. They are deeply, deeply closeted. There is a lot of self-hatred
and shame and they can't allow themselves to come to terms with their
sexuality." I'm sorry, but I find his justification for their behavior
disturbing. It's hard to pity perverts. Prof. Kaufman then asserts, "There
is also the added element of danger and being discovered." What it's
really all about is the element of danger. Pervs could care less about
traumatizing kids � or offending adults. What they really want is to get
away with it.

So the
next time you take little Johnny to a public lavatory consider what could
be lurking behind the closed door of the stall. Self-professed expert
on cruising Keith Griffith informs us that cruisers "will usually
go to the stall at the far end of the strip of toilets. They will see
each other and usually decide to go someplace else. The vast majority
have no interest in being seen. They may be meeting in public locations,
but they will be as discreet as possible." Thank God for small favors!

People
of faith should not accept the "to each his own" excuse liberals
toss out to justify immoral behavior. Anyone who would cruise a public
place to engage in anonymous sex is demented!

On a
"Gay Life" poll conducted at gaylife.com [enter at your own
risk], the question was asked of "gays": Do you have sex in
public places?

What
in this lifestyle encourages homosexuals to do these sorts of perverted
things? For those who say that having sex with a faceless stranger in
a public toilet isn't perverted, then what is?

Not
only is anonymous sex perverted, it's dangerous, even suicidal! Cruisers
have no way of knowing what kinds of diseases the person they're "accommodating"
could be carrying. The really scary fact is that it is estimated that
between 8-10% of gay males are currently H.I.V. positive. And guess what?
H.I.V. among Men who have sex with men (MSM) is on the rise.

Here's
something that's even scarier. A new AIDS study conducted by the Center
for Disease Control in Atlanta found that many young "gay" and
bisexual men in the U.S. were unaware that they have the virus.[2]
(The spread of H.I.V in the U.S. is disproportionately high among African
Americans. More than half of new H.I.V. infections occur among blacks.)

Cruisers
have a HUGE risk of contracting AIDS, hepatitis A and B, syphilis, gonorrhea,
herpes simplex, genital warts and many more disturbing conditions. Moreover,
the latest STD to strike homosexuals and bisexuals is lymphogranuloma
venereum (LGV), a variety of the Chlamydia trachomatis bacterium, which
is an "ongoing epidemic with men who have sex with men (MSM) in Europe,
the United Kingdom and North America."[3]
(If you want to know more about the conditions that may be encountered
in homosexual men, go to the link provided at the end of this article).[4]

Regarding
Sen. Craig's recklessness behavior, which is the point of this piece,
some conservatives are arguing that Bill Clinton committed adultery, defiled
the oval office, lied under oath and remained in office. They bring up
the names of Sen. Ted Kennedy, Rep. Barney Frank, Rep. Gerry Studs and
other devious Democrats who were involved in dastardly deeds yet refused
to resign, and still represent the people. The public expects immoral
behavior from liberals! Everyone knows that liberals have a different
set of moral standards than conservatives do. For one thing, most liberals
are secular humanists, hence they're not big on biblical morality. Liberals
hold that the state has the right to force citizens to accept what is
contrary to their religious conscience. (This includes the Christian belief
that homosexuality is immoral.)

Now,
Sen. Craig is supposedly a staunch conservative. As such, he believes
what the majority of conservatives believe, which is that the family is
the backbone of a healthy society. Conservatives hold that traditional
(biblical) morality is the best protection against societal evils. And,
"Conservatives believe that traditional morality serves as the best
protection against the ills that plague society. The government should
encourage policies that promote morality and discourage immorality. Personal
freedom demands personal responsibility, and liberty is no excuse for
irresponsible behavior."[5]

In June
2007, Larry Craig pled guilty to a misdemeanor charge of disorderly conduct.
He received a ten day suspended sentence, was fined $500 and was given
one-year probation. Two months later he says he is innocent of the charges
against him. From all the reports I've read, it would appear that Sen.
Craig refuses to take personal responsibility for his actions. If the
police report is correct, and there's no reason to believe it isn't, the
man has shown irresponsible, even deviant, behavior. Therefore, Republican
Senate leaders were forced to remove him as the ranking Republican on
the Veterans Affairs Committee.

Sen.
Craig has destroyed his credibility. He has shown himself to be unworthy
of the high office he holds so he must step aside. Larry Craig has no
business representing Idahoans, or anyone else.
